QuakeCon 2014 Dates Announced

If you’re a fan of competitive PC gaming, your yearly opportunity to attend North America’s largest LAN gathering is fast approaching. QuakeCon 2014 will arrive on Thursday, July 17 and run through Sunday, July 20. If you’re looking to attend, you’ll likely want to make reservations at the Hilton Anatole; the Dallas hotel is offering a rate of $159 a night for attendees.

The 19th year of QuakeCon promises plenty of opportunities for gaming, but Bethesda also plans to show off some of its upcoming games, and offer hands-on opportunities. As usual, attendees can also attend a variety of panels and parties over the course of the weekend. For more information, check out the convention's official site.

Our TakeQuakeCon began as an organic gathering of gamers eager to gather in person, and has grown dramatically over the years to the giant event it is today. It’s remarkable that the get-together has remained such a big part of gaming life for so many years.

Could this be the year Doom 4 re-appears? Our first look at the Arkane-developed Prey 2? Dishonored 2? Best not get my hopes up. This is going to have some stuff from already-known Bethesda games - Wolfenstein, Evil Within, ESO - and the traditional LAN-a-palooza, that's all.
Which btw, always baffled me. I don't get why they insist on doing such an event in the hottest state in the country. Yeah, yeah, I know id (as well as many other studios) are in Texas... the whole thing baffles me. I'm always in awe that whichever place that holds this thing doesn't melt. The heat of the Dallas sun beating down on the outside, the heat from hundreds of overpowered PC's infesting the inside... that's not a good recipe. Hope they got AMAZING A.C.

Confession. I don't really play PC games. I mainly stick to Civ V (which is SO awesome) and The Sims as far as PC goes, but I don't even think PC is the right word because I play on a Mac. People always scoff at me when I tell them I have a Mac. Either way, it gets the job done.
